Which factors affect my Ford Edge insurance rate?

Insurance is a must, but that doesn’t mean you should pay through the nose for it. For affordable premiums, we’ve devised a list of tips for you to try.
Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you could save an average of £97.43 a year.
Make yourself a secure investment. The more you appeal to your provider, the more likely it is that they will reward you with lower premiums. You can achieve this by keeping a clean history of no claims and a good credit rating.
Be economical about your car usage. The less you use your car, the lower your mileage will be. The lower your mileage is, the lower your premiums may become. Simple!
Don’t just accept your renewal quote. The renewal quote that you’re given isn’t always the best option out there. When it’s time for renewal, make sure you shop around before you commit.
Install extra safety precautions. Providers don’t like to insure risks. By investing in some extra safety and security measures, you may find your premiums lower.
Avoid driving convictions.Convictions of any kind will increase the cost of your premiums.
